    Aluminium or Steel Squares?

    Not sure about rules on naming products, so let's just say an e-mail arrived in my inbox from an American manufacturer doing special offers on their all aluminium (or should that be aluminum) squares. Browsing their site I see they also offer a variant with a stainless steel blade. So, I just...

    MFT accurate cuts

    Is the saw tight to the rail and correctly fitted to the rail?

    Who can you trust with your data.

    Of course. I see the aforementioned Medite site uses the Google Tag Manager - so presumably the idea is that Google will then flood me with adverts for Medite on any other vaguely related sites I visit - well, they would if I did not block the whole caboodle on the browser. It is a double...

    Who can you trust with your data.

    There seems to be an increasing trend for sites to want you to provide your PII to "register" before they will give you access. I noticed last night that Medite, sponsors of Peter Millard's new mini-series, are doing the same. Needless to say I didn't - so I have no idea what they can offer -...

    Axminster price increasing

    Interesting - I am in Switzerland and Digitec do something similar. A graphics card I have been "following" waiting for one of their flash sales has gone up by 10% as well - was 249 now 274 (so much for the flash sale). A monitor I was watching has increased over 20% So it is not just an...

    systainers

    I am not sure that the Metabo boxes are 100% compatible with the SYS3 - which means the forthcoming rails may not work with it.

    Bringing goods from the EU

    Actually the Royal Mail does. China is deemed a developing nation and thus allowed cheap rates as part of the Universal Postal Union. It passes next to nothing on to Royal Mail who still have all the costs of sorting, transporting and delivering the items.

    Spraying a farrow and ball colour onto MDF

    Have to say F&B is the second worst "premium" paint I have used - beaten only by Sanderson paint of the 70s and 80s (anyone remember that?) I would also go with the "get a colour match" option.

    Chinese Copies of the Knew Concept Coping saws

    Ditto - and added to the list of reasons not to buy Chinese is their atrocious human rights record. In the seventies and eighties some of us boycotted apartheid-era South Africa for far less.

    Tier 4

    I see those with their noses hanging out of the top of the masks. That's gonna work well - given one of the places they test for the virus is up your nose!

    Tier 4

    The issue is not my re-entry and quarantine on medical grounds. My complaint that you missed is that others can skip the rules based on social or economic criteria - and until someone explains to me how a wealthy businessman, for example, is immune and no risk I condemn Boris for applying the...

    Workshop security

    When putting a PIR in my old outdoor workshop / shed - I was advised to use dual-mode detectors - heat and movement - to reduce false alarms due to small mammals and temperature fluctuations.

    Tier 4

    The problem seems to be that Government action is not always driven by medical best practice. Instead, economic and social aspects drive decision making. I return to the UK tomorrow (I hope) and I have to isolate for five full days before I can have a test on boxing day. Had I had a few extra...

    Would PPE actually work? With a chainsaw it gums up the blade and the clutch slips but here, what is there to slip?

    List of British manufacturers of woodworking machines

    Meddings - my father had a scroll saw and gave me a drill - or are they made by someone else?

    Woodpeckers - login failures

    Thanks Mike. Digging deeper it looks like they do something with Google and reCapture - or at least they try to except it doesn't work properly. Google's revenge! I can get in via a private browsing window with security add-ons disabled - so will do that. Thanks again

    Woodpeckers - login failures

    Trying to log in to woodpeck.com with no luck - some message about "We just updated our website. You may have to reset your password." which usually means they have been hacked and have had to reset the passwords because they don't know what is compromised. Anyway, then trying to change my...

    Oil Burner

    My local garage said they had to get a license and other waste related paperwork from the local council at considerable cost to burn used engine oil to heat the paint booth. He said it did not pay - so the waste oil was sent away and he heated with standard heating oil. Check before you go too...
